Most people who know a little about Internet tech know that JavaScript is the scripting language for Web pages. It adds interaction, verifies form inputs, and makes pages livelier and more useful. Not as many people know that JavaScript is one of the fastest-growing languages for server-side development. Today a website can use the same language behind the scenes that it uses on its pages, allowing tighter connections between client and server.

Throughout Europe, and in several other parts of the world, there's a longstanding tradition called the "gap year." In the year immediately following high school graduation, students will travel the world in order to expand their knowledge and better themselves before coming home to start college and make the final decision about their major.

It's not hard to fall through the cracks, ending up among the weeds when you're interviewing for a coding position. There are plenty of great tips out there for nailing your interview once you're there, but even with the best coding skills available, you have to get that interview in order to show off your skills. If you want to land an interview with the company you want to work for, ignore the rules and try these tips instead.

You might think the need for coding skills applies only to programmers, but that is far from the case. This popular STEM skill has found its way into nearly every industry and is quickly becoming a skill.

What does it take to bring a software idea to life? Lots of skilled development work. The initial idea is vital, but as Thomas Edison once said, "Two percent is genius, and ninety-eight percent is hard work." Someone devises an idea, such as blockchains, augmented reality, the World Wide Web, or social networks. Turning it into a deliverable product takes the work of designers, software developers, and testers. Lots of work.

There are more opportunities than ever for programmers who want to work in emerging computer technologies. From The Internet of Things (IoT) to blockchain to virtual reality, there is no shortage of exciting fields that can provide novel work with bountiful pay and high personal fulfillment.

Famed venture capitalist Marc Andreessen generated a new meme with his 2011 statement “software is eating the world.” The construction "X is eating the world" has become a snappy way to describe the explosive growth and impact of many new technologies. Incidentally, Andreessen was co-founder of Netscape. This is serendipitous because Netscape gave us JavaScript. We can make the case that among contemporary programming languages, JavaScript is the one that is truly eating the world.

It’s been over a month since I’ve written my last post. And quite frankly, I regret it. The truth is that my last month has been extremely busy. I worked on a couple of projects at DaVinci Coders, had some scheduling issues at my job, and worked through some personal difficulties. But those aren’t good excuses.

Recently, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the last month where I’ve worked on two projects for DaVinci Coders. The first, Shift Scheduler, is an app that allows people to conveniently manage employees schedules. The second, Tracker Request, uses the Pivotal Tracker and GitHub APIs to create a one-stop-shop for managing projects. I want to recap the important bits from my last month at DaVinci Coders.
